The Branch POstomces.

The establishment of four suburban
pOstOffices, which is soon to be an ac-
cOmplished fact, will be matter of con-
siderable moment to the outlying dis
tricts. An effort is being made to locate
them where they will do the great
est good to the greatest num-
Der, but thus far Onl One-that for
the West end-has been designated.
There was rather lively fight between
Twenty-sixth and Thirty-first streets,
OH Nicollet, but the latter was
given the place by Postmaster
Ankeny, and very wisely. too. At
the junction of the three motor
branches, it is the center of the large
and growing territory of the Eighth and
Thirteenth wards. The other offices
will be in the north. south and east
ends, respectively, but Mr.. Ankeny has
not recommended the location. These
branch offices, to be designated as sta
tons 4, Il. c and d. will be pOstOffices
for all purposes. and not mere stamp de-
pOSitOrieS and letter boxes.

III a dry goods establishment further
up the street, the tariff question was
discussed the other day, and the mer-
chant was asked his opinion of the duty
on raw wool. He said:
II never was Cleveland man, but
after his bold stand on the great tariff
question / see my mistake. While 1
have never given the general question
much study, believe it is wrong, on
principle, to tax raw material, whether
it is wool, ore or anything else, but /
have studied the wool question and i
know the duty on raw wool is an in
iQuity. 1t taxes the wool on the Sleeps
back and the coat on the mans back.
For the benefit of only few OF the
flockmasterS, only few, mind you, it
taxes the millions of people of the
United States. Such course is not
justifable, in the matter of a general
necessity, even under the pressure of
war times, while at the present time it
is simple outrage. Few people have
any idea of the wool they use or how
much they pay for it. If it became a
question alone between the wool wear
ers and the wool growers. the former
should win, but it really is between the
army of wool wearers and the cOmpar-
atively few wool growers, for
it is only certain grades of wool
that might suffer by reduction of the
tariff, and those few would soon make
it up in the decreased cost of their farm
ing implements and every necessary of
life. This may be question of locality,
and certainly the Northwest is inter-
ested in tariff reform, but it seems to me
the whole masses of the people are in
terested in graduating the system which
taxes the many for the benefit of the
few. President Cleveland has taken a
step in the right direction"
"What are your politics."
81 am Republican. but / know no
party in this. 1t is not a party question
here. / believe the Tribune is for a
protective tariff, but it is probably ignor-
auce with it."

Merchants Who Would Reduce

The tariff on crockery ware, aver
aged throughout, would amount TO 60
per cent in round numbers" said a
Nicollet avenue dealer in china ware
yesterday.
'How would you view reduction of
the tariff?' asked a GLOBE reporter.
Every dealer would like to see the
tariff removed entirely. Why not?
You and other consumers of china
and everybody is a consumer-pay this
tariff in extra prices. You pay nearly
60 per cent more for your ware than if
there were no tariff"
"How would you be affected?"
cit would require less capital to run
our business, our expenses would be
lighter. taxes and insurance less and
bad debts smaller. while our profits
would be the same. The cheapening of
the goods would result in selling more
and our business would increase"
What does the tariff protect?'

some more along the Ohio river, be-
tween Pittsburg and Wheeling. The
jersey potteries. however, are doing
very poorly, from what / can gather"

amounted to S4,5S9.34 and the disburse-
mentS to S9.343.17. There is now due

In the III. 4 ID. Tracks Matter Oc-
casiOned by the Extra Depth.

CaSiOned by the Extra Depth.
The time-WOTn Hastings & Dakota
track question came up yesterday morn
ing at the city hall. and for three long
hours representatives Of the city and of
the railroad wrangled with the matter.
Among those present at the meeting
were Aid. ClOutier, Cooley and Gibson.
of the council railroad committee: Gen
rral Superintendent j. I. Clark, Assist
ant General Superintendent Case, At
tOrney w. Fl. Harris. and Eugene
Rhome. of the Milwaukee road, and
Eugene VI. Wilson and Ed \. Stevens,
of the park board. Aid. Cooley, as soon
as the meeting was called 10 order.
made a concise statement of what had
been done, and what the railroad COM
mittee ought to do in agreeing OH the
compromise proposed by the aldermen
Of the various wards. Supt. Clark de-
clared that it would cost about $40, 600
more TO lower the tracks the eX-
ira two feet demanded by the
last project, and therefore he was
not favorable to it. Aid. Cooley replied
that the people in the vicinity, who
wanted some 100000 yards of earth,
would no doubt help in taking it away.
Supt Clark said that half of the right
of way could be lowered partially and
the tracks laid on that grade, and then
the other half could be lowered, repeat
ing this until the desired grade was OBJ
tanned.
Aid. Cl0utier brought up the matter
of the bridges by saying he would object
TO any only eighteen foot roadway
bridges. Supt. Clark announced that he
was willing twenty-fOur feet the mini
mum. providing the city would do he
same. As regarded side-tracks. however,
The matter of putting them in was
TO be left entirely to the managers of
the road. At the close of the confer
ence, the points embodied in the new
proposition we're reviewed as follows:
The city is TO vacate certain parts of
TWenty-ninth street: to permit tenn
pOrary track to go along Twenty-ninth
street to carry the roads business while
the work is going on; TO agree to pro-
vide drainage by sewerage for the basin
in which the track ran; and TO pay half
the cost of grading, not to exceed
So, 600. The railroad is to put the
tracks an average of two feet lower
fhat an first agreed; to build aliilOf its
bridges for eighty-fOOt streets with
thirty-six-foot roadway, and for mar
rover streets with twenty-fOur-foOt
roadway. provided the city does the
same: to allow the city to take out Of
lis right of way not to exceed half of the
whole amount of dirt to be taken out,
and allow the city credit thereon at
the rate per yard it costs the road to take
tie rest out, provided that the work is
to be done under the roads direction.
If the city can take out 100000 yards of
dirt. as Aid. Cooley says. itwOuld lessen
the cost to the city from $4,000 to
$4,000 If this proposition is accepted,
next summer.
